Trends and insights: Housing prices, rental growth, and market outlook

  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer explore the latest in the Australian property market, from house and unit prices to rental movements and the potential impact of upcoming interest rate cuts.

    The duo discusses the latest quarterly report on house and unit price growth for each capital city.

    While house prices have risen for the ninth consecutive quarter, with regional areas outperforming capital cities, marking the longest period of growth since 2012–2015, unit prices fell slightly by 0.4 per cent across the combined capital cities, representing the first decline in two years.

    The co-hosts also report on the latest rental news for each state and territory, with national rents growing by 1.7 per cent over the March quarter – the slowest Q1 increase since 2019 – yet annual growth remains strong.

    Looking ahead, a potential Reserve Bank interest rate cut could boost market activity, though Emilie advises buyers to be financially prepared rather than rush in.
